Sustainability criteria that could become binding for dedicated bio-energy production, such as the restrictive use of water-scarce or degraded areas. +
Reduce the health impacts of malnutrition and inadequate access to safe drinking water, basic sanitaion and modern sources of energy, through, for example, improving female education, promoting good hygiene and providing good indoor good ventilation +
Improve the quality of access to drinking water, sanitation and modern sources of energy, through, for example, household connections to drinking-water supply and the use of LPG or kerosene instead of traditional biomass on improved biomass stoves +
Improved irrigation efficiency assumes an increase in the irrigation project efficiency and irrigation conveyance efficiency. +
Improved manure storage systems (ST), considering 20% lower NH<sub>3</sub> emissions from animal housing and storage systems. +
Improved rainwater management assumes a decrease in the evaporative losses from rainfed agriculture and the creation of small scale reservoirs to harvest rainwater during the wet period and use it during a dryer period. Both measures lead to more efficient use of water and increased yields on rainfed fields. +
Improvement of feed conversion ratio of small ruminants, such as sheep and goats. This means other breeds will be used that need less grass to produce the same amount of meat. +
Exogenously set improvement in efficiency. Such improvements can be introduced for the submodels that focus on particular technologies, for example, in transport, heavy industry and households submodels. +
Assumptions on income and price elasticities of demand, substitution elasticities, and many other elasticities, +
Increase access to food by targeting food prices for the poorest households +
Increase access to safe drinking water and improved sanitation by lowering prices and investing in infrastructure +
Increase the use of wood from highly productive wood plantations instead of wood from (semi-) natural forests. +
Increase in irrigated area, often based on external projections (e.g., FAO). +
It should be noted that policy measures to increase carbon storage often generate certain co-benefits, such as the restoration of watershed and wildlife habitats, and the prevention of soil erosion. +
A change in production characteristics, such as milk production per animal, carcass weight and off-take rates, which will also have an impact on the feed conversion ratio; in general, this will be lower in more productive animals +
Increasing storage capacity assumes that the total water volume stored in large reservoirs will increase. This can either be established by an increase of the capacity of existing reservoirs, or by building new reservoirs. +
infrastructure map from external model +
Includes current state (intensive agriculture use, extensive agricultural use, no use) of land area and erosion protection represented by greenness index (NDVI = Normalized Difference Vegetation Index). +
